Garage Door Lock Repair in Stanley

Garage Door Lock Repair in Stanley

Garages in Stanley come with several kinds of door, and the lock work differs: a centre-handle lock on an up-and-over door, and ordinary door locks on side-hinged and pedestrian garage doors.

No garage job is recorded in the Stanley area yet; the examples are from elsewhere and labelled.

We cover the whole Stanley area for this service, including Annfield Plain, Catchgate, Craghead, Dipton, Quaking Houses, Shield Row, South Moor and Tanfield.

Recent Work in the Stanley Area

Genuine jobs we have completed in the Stanley area, of any kind (not necessarily garage door lock work):

• New Window Mechanism + Handle in Stanley (Window Handles & Window Mechanisms): An upstairs window would not open and another had a faulty handle; both were opened without damage and new parts fitted.

Side-Hinged and Pedestrian Garage Doors

These open like house doors and use the same kinds of lock: a cylinder, a sash lock or a night latch, and sometimes bolts. They are repaired, replaced or upgraded the same way as a house door, and a door that has dropped on its hinges is realigned so the lock meets its keep.

Up-and-Over Doors

The centre handle and its cylinder drive bars or cables to the latches. A key that will not turn usually means a worn cylinder or a binding door; a handle that turns without locking means the linkage. If the keys are lost, new handles with keys make the door lockable, as at High Shincliffe, near Durham (the job).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fit a better lock to a side-hinged garage door?

Yes. It takes ordinary door locks, so a stronger cylinder or lock can be fitted.

Do you cut keys or do car keys?

No. We do not offer auto locksmith services and we do not cut keys.
